67th National Film Awards: From Best Actor to Best Film, south Indian films make a record haul.
It won’t be wrong to say that south Indian filmmakers and artists dominated the 67th National Awards, which were announced on Monday. The awards recognised the best movies and performances that happened in the year 2019. This event, which was supposed to be held in May last year, was delayed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As many as 15 films from south India won top honours in various popular categories, including non-feature films. Wildlife photographers Amoghavarsha and Kalyan Varma’s wildlife film, Wild Karnataka bagged two awards including Best Voice Over Artist (Sir David Attenborough) and Best Exploration Film.
And it was total domination of sorts by the south Indian filmmakers in the feature film categories. Director Priyadarshan and Mohanlal’s most ambitious film to date, Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham took home three awards, including the coveted Best Feature Film. It was a dream project of the actor-director duo as they nurtured the desire to make this movie for nearly a decade. Set in 16th century Kerala, the film follows the battle exploits of the most decorated naval chief of Zamorin, Kunjali Marakkar IV. The Rs 100-crore magnum opus also won awards for special effects (Siddharth Priyadarshan) and costumes (Sujith Sudhakaran and V. Sai). The film was delayed by over a year in the light of the pandemic. It is now due in cinemas on April 13.
Vijay Sethupathi bagged his first National Award for his performance in director Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s hyperlink film, Super Deluxe. He had played the role of a transgender and delivered a realised performance in throwing the light on the abuse and violence faced by the LGBTQ community. He was conferred the Best Supporting Actor (Male) for this performance.
Besides Marakkar, other works of Malayalam filmmakers, technicians, and actors also made a significant haul at the National Awards. Newcomer director Mathukutty Xavier won Best Debut Film of a Director for his survival drama Helen. The film’s make-up artiste Ranjith also won an award for his work in the film.
Director Manoj Kumar’s Akshi was named Best Film in the Kannada language. Actor-filmmaker Rakshit Shetty starrer Avane Srimannarayana was recognised for its sleek stunt sequences. The film’s stunt choreographer Vikram Mor received the award for Best Action Direction.
